Usual cause is sudden drop in temperature, but can also be caused by, believe it or not, sunburn, particularly if the sun hits the leaves when they're wet. Is it Sundance or Ternata?

Choysia are very prone to mites especially in this hot dry weather. Mites turn the leaves very pale with a faint mottled appearance and leave a fine web under the leaves. They are so tiny they are very hard to see,but look under the leaves and see if you can spot any tiny red spots. Treat with a good insecticide and or a spraying oil or if you prefer spray water under the leaves a few times weekly. Mites hate water.

Thanks Wheelz your comments help. l had choysia Sundance in town and it was lovely. With my new home l planted it thinking it would look good too but it has just sat and not moved in the last 18 months. It is in full sun and wind!

Was in shade but moved to sun (in Pot from garden shop still) as I wanted to see what it would look like in a certain spot
